Chapter 6: Chapter 6: The advantage must be mine!
"How could it just happen to be rented out, when I just contacted you yesterday? How could it be rented out today?" Tang Fangjing looked at Qi Guang across from him and said.
"And I specifically confirmed with you yesterday that there was no issue with the house and the price, you assured me it was all good and told me to come over directly. What time is it now? How could it have already been rented out?"
"Even if it really was such a coincidence that someone came early in the morning to rent the house, you should've informed me ahead of time. I'm already here, and now you're telling me it's just been rented out; do you think I would believe that?"
I don't know if it's just a coincidence, but how can it be that with any random agent, I could run into this kind of situation?
Of course, there's also a possibility that when many in the industry are doing this, it's not a coincidence anymore.
Qi Guang hastily explained, "No, Brother Tang, it's really rented out. Let's go take a look at that other apartment then. Since you're already here, it's no loss to you, right?..."
"This isn't about whether I lose something or not... I even took a taxi here, and I'll need to take one back; are you going to pay for that?"
The labor dispute case had just begun its litigation procedure; he didn't have much money now; it was just that he was used to taking taxis in his past life and hasn't gotten used to being poor all of a sudden.
Qi Guang looked at the young man across from him with a bit of helplessness and said, "Brother Tang, then... I'll just tell you the truth, the information online was indeed fake, but, but we can't do anything about it."
"For renting houses, you guys want a lower price but also a better house. Putting up the real listings with the real prices gets no attention at all. Everyone is doing this now. So, Brother Tang, what do you think we should do?"
"We still need to eat, right?"
Unexpectedly, the agent in front of him actually honestly admitted it.
Tang Fangjing of course knew about this situation, but that's just a sad thing.
You know so many people are deceiving, but you can't do anything about it; the strength of one person is ultimately too small, and public interest litigation can't be initiated by an individual.
I remember in a previous life reading an online novel, where the protagonist was really cool. Their system could provide mission funds at whim, getting a bunch of people to sue at the same time; just thinking about it feels awesome...
"Then you should have told me earlier, not wait until I'm here and still think of deceiving me... I'm not going to look at the house, just give me the taxi fare for the trip here and we'll call it even."
One issue at a time, it's not that you guys are having a hard time, as if everyone else has it easy.
When Qi Guang heard Tang Fangjing say he wouldn't go see the house and also wanted the taxi fare, the smile on his face disappeared, "Brother Tang, that's impossible. If you had seen the house and signed a contract, I'd have no problem paying the taxi fare."
"But since it hasn't worked out now, there's no way I'm paying for that..."
Upon hearing this, Tang Fangjing shook his head, "Then what about you tricking me into coming here?"
At those words, Qi Guang immediately shouted, "What do you mean 'trick'? Who tricked you? Can you not speak so unpleasantly? I've told you that everyone's doing this now. Fine, fine, our store is just over there; go talk to the manager, then!"
"The store told us to do it this way. You go on, see if they give you the money!"
After saying that, Qi Guang turned and left. Damn it, running into a lunatic, it's just bizarre!
Even if the house had been rented out, his commission wouldn't have been much, let alone that it wasn't rented yet. How could there be such people!
Tang Fangjing couldn't care less; he knew the other party definitely wouldn't pay. Anyway, he still had to go to the court in the next few days. He would just sue while he was at it.
This kind of thing, he had done in his previous life as well, randomly picking a lucky fellow to practice his skills...
After walking for about ten minutes, he arrived at a store, a typical real estate agency. It was small, and inside were several men in suits chatting.
Qi Guang walked in and said something to one of the men, then the man in the suit came out and looked at Tang Fangjing, "Mr. Tang, right? I'm the manager of this place, my surname is Wang. Xiao Qi has already told me about the situation."
"You're aware of the situation now. We also have no choice. It's definitely not appropriate for you to insist that Qi Guang gives you money. He hasn't been with us long, and he doesn't make much in a month..."
Actually, Tang Fangjing had grown tired of talking to the other side; for him, wasting time was wasting life.
The reason he bothered with the conversation was to see if the system would assign him another task, but unfortunately, there was no movement.
So, he cut right to the chase, "Manager Wang, right? Spare me the useless talk. Just tell me, is it your company's practice to deceive people with fake listings and prices, yes or no?"
"And just a reminder, my phone is recording this conversation. You'll need to take responsibility for your words!"
Upon hearing this, Manager Wang suddenly became agitated, "No, what are you talking about? Who's deceiving whom? What have we deceived you with!"
"So what if the company instructs us to do this? Isn't this how everyone operates now? I've never met anyone like you before. I'm telling you, there's no way we're giving you that money!"
Tang Fangjing looked at his task panel with a bit of regret and shook his head, "It doesn't matter. As long as you say it's so, that's fine."
After saying this, he turned and left.
It seemed that this so-called Daredevil Lawyer System wasn't what he imagined. It wouldn't just assign him a task because he provoked the other party a bit. Too bad.
He might as well just sue them when the labor dispute court session came around.
As Tang Fangjing decisively walked away, Manager Wang shook his head, "What a nutcase!"
They didn't believe they were deceiving anyone. The other party didn't have any real losses, so what about taxi fare? That wasn't a loss worth noting. They couldn't give it and really didn't believe someone would fuss over this.
Must be too idle...
After returning to his rental, Tang Fangjing decided not to rent any longer. He would wait until the labor dispute money was enforced before buying a house outright!
Anyway, he would spend his days at the library studying; he would just come back at night to sleep.
What? The lawsuit hasn't started yet?
Don't get it wrong, Old Tang wasn't being arrogant, he just thought that the opposing company's legal team was incredibly weak.
Time passed day by day, and on the morning of the third day, inside Bluebird Company, President Hu looked at Manager Liu and Elder Zhang and said, "You've seen the subpoena, right? So, what are your thoughts?"
Elder Zhang and Manager Liu exchanged glances then replied, "President Hu, we've discussed this after the arbitration; it was certain the other party would file a lawsuit. It doesn't matter to us. From any angle, the advantage is with us!"
President Hu nodded after listening, "Alright, then you guys hurry up and handle this matter."
In anyone's eyes, losing this lawsuit seemed impossible; it was unthinkable!
In such an atmosphere, the day of the court session finally arrived.
At the entrance of Guangming District Court, Tang Fangjing looked composed, but inside he was like a blazing fire!
The other side worked just for a salary, but he was fighting for his life...
To be on the safe side, he had simulated the court proceedings many times recently. Almost any reaction from the opponent was within his expectations.
Let it begin.
